    Probably about right. However, there must be around 350-400 cars in the UK and we've done it before. So it should be possible to achieve a reasonable turnout?!

    Here are a few suggestions;
    1. Someone get the contact details of all active members and try to get some kind of momentum. This might drive enthusiasm for events. I'd be happy to do this as I spend around six hours a day on the road.
    2. Create a prominent events calender/what's on, on the forum main page.
    3. Email all members with the events

    the only times we've had big numbers at a show was the first Japfest meet with the ontrack pics, mainly because it was the first time we actually all got together, and the biggest was the 25th anniversary at silverstone classic with the perk of a (slow) lap of the track... any other shows are lucky if we hit double figures, and they are considered well attended.... can't remember how many we had at the Gaydon meet....

    the euro trip is an exception as it's got a large wider catchment area!
    aka Jonathan!!

    '92 charlotte green auto.... as a daily
    '37 Ford Y street rod......... something for the weekend!

    ...... if a photobucket pic is foggy, click it, and it'll take you to the clear version, yes, it's a clicking faff....

    Not entirely true. We have 40+ at Japfest for at least four years and 25-30 on the other years. Paul (Senninha) managed a 50+ Japfest. What was the Silverstone number?

    Cheers.

    Whilst Wales maybe no Europe I am sure those who have attended over the past 10 years have had just as much fun ��. After all we have hills, twisty roads and don't forget the sheep! I think we got upto 20 cars enjoying the roads one year not a bad turn out at all.
